This research is characterized as a qualitative approach based on multiple-case studies in hospital organizations. These findings enhance our understanding of how the strategic management of people can foster organizational commitment, using managers of hospital organizations as subjects, and expanding discussions about the concept of organizational commitment. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, qualitative survey questionnaires and documentary research. Data management and analysis were performed using analysis strategies, reflective analysis, document analysis and, consequently, triangulation of data. Overall, these results show that when the policies and practices of strategic management of people are integrated into organizational strategies, there is a tendency of people management act more focused on commitment model. Moreover, the central aspects of the concepts and perceptions about organizational commitment drawn up by managers highlight the commitment, dedication and identification with the organization as affective dimension characteristics of commitment found in the literature. However, no references were found to normative and instrumental dimensions.

This paper re-engineers the ‘industrial relationships between the leaders and the employees (RLE)’ model in the Bangladeshi manufacturing companies, where labour management, supply, and demand of workflow and workers, employee’s conditions and rights are significant factors. Researchers have pondered the ‘industrial relationships between leaders and employees’ component as part of ‘human resource management’ and have adept the integration by using soft systems technology, where this component’s codes are associated with employees’ rights protocols of ‘Universal declaration of human rights (UDHR), ‘International labour organisations (ILO) and ‘Bangladesh labour act 2006’ (BDL). Here, qualitative method’s multiple case studies are applied with purposeful sampling to choose twelve cases (12) and eighty-seven (87) participants’ for in-depth interviews, which are transcribed and coded methodically in NVIVO. Here, re-engineered ‘industrial relationships between leaders and employees model’ is the outcome. The concept of integration is novel, which is an addition to the knowledge of literature and the advancement of ‘industrial relationships between leaders and employees’ model.

AbstractThe paper investigates motivations, challenges and success factors experienced by an incubator company and panel shop owners during transformation from a non-registered to a registered panel shop. Since 2006 the company has assisted six black owned panel shops in upgrading their businesses through an annual grant of R1.5 million per business. The objective is to develop and empower disadvantaged black owned motor body repairers. The study was conducted through multiple case studies and in-depth interviews with owners and staff of these panel shops including incubator company personnel. The study revealed that noticeable improvements were in better infrastructure, improved management skills, registration with the repair authority, access to work from the insurance industry and better turnover. Challenges faced were in building of trust among panel shop owners and support agencies seconded to their businesses by the incubator company during the incubation process.

This study aims to explore the interrelationship between different types of stigma experienced by people with mental illness. A multiple case studies approach was adopted, and semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with ten Chinese with mental illness in Hong Kong. Thematic analysis of the data revealed that the respondents were stigmatized by the public, their significant others, and themselves. Results suggested that stigma from the public and significant others might have remarkable association with self-stigma among the respondents. Moreover, self-stigma might reinforce the sense of powerlessness and the adoption of negative coping strategies. A self-disruptive vicious cycle of stigma of people with mental illness is proposed and discussed.

The constant demands for modernization of technological business parks and the high availability of technological resources provoke companies to invest in an unplanned and unstable manner in technologies. In this chapter, the authors observe the orientation of the strategic alignment and the perspective of the knowledge management with the objective to structure the implementation of technologies that are focused in industrial production. It uses a multiple cases studies method to verify the proposal of Knowledge Management in the production environment. In development, these multiple case studies evaluate how the insertion of RFID is given in an untimely manner, not allowing its users to obtain the best results from strategic management of knowledge for the alignment to enterprise strategies. These two constructs, reviewed in the theoretical framework, are used to analyze whether managers make decision based on these theories.

Industry Relatedness

Context: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a turbulent business environment, resulting in market uncertainties, frustrations, and rumors. Wrongly held beliefs—or myths—can hinder startups from turning new market opportunities into their favor (for example, by failing at diversification decisions) or undertaking wrong business decisions, e.g., diversifying in industries that have products of no real market value). Objectives: The objective of the paper is to identify the beliefs that drive the business decisions of startups in a pandemic and to isolate those beliefs that are merely myths. Further, this paper proposes strategic guidelines in the form of a framework to help startups make sound decisions that can lead to market success. Method: The two-step research method involved multiple case studies with five startups based in India, France, Italy, and Switzerland, to identify perceptual beliefs that drove strategic business decisions, followed by a case study of 36 COVID-19-solution focused startups, funded by the European Union (EU). The findings were validated through a survey that involved 102 entrepreneurs. The comparative analysis of two multiple case studies helped identify beliefs that were merely “myths”; myths that drove irrational strategic decisions, resulting in business failures. Results: The results indicate that startups make decisions in pandemic situations that are driven by seven myths, pertaining to human, intellectual, and financial resources. The decision on whether to diversify or continue in the same business operation can be divided into four strategic options of the Competency-Industry Relatedness (C-IR) framework: ignore, delay, phase-in, and diversify. Diversification in the same (or different industry) is less risky for startups if they have the skills, as needed, to diversify in related industries. Diversification in related industries helps startups leverage their experiences and learning curves (those associated with existing product lines) to adapt their existing products in new markets, or utilize their technologies to solve new problems via new products. The desired outcome for these startups should be sustainable business growth—to meet sustainability goals by contributing to the society and the economy. Conclusion: The C-IR framework is a strategic guide for startups to make business decisions based on internal factors, rather than myths. Accurately assessing skill diversity and the nature of new industries (or markets) will help startups leverage their existing resources optimally, without the need for (pricey) external funding. This will foster sustained business growth resulting in a nation economic development. Knowledge transfer from the Innovation ecosystem will further strengthen the C-IR framework effectiveness.

Purpose This study aims to empirically investigate how organizations delivering services in business-to-business relations deal with the boundary paradox and knowledge asymmetry in value co-creation. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a qualitative multiple case study strategy. Datas were gathered through 13 semi-structured interviews that were then analyzed through the content analysis. Findings The authors identified three mechanisms that organizations use to deal with the boundary paradox and two strategies to handle the knowledge asymmetry. Research limitations/implications First, no opportunities were afforded to involve more participants. Second, owning to confidentiality reasons, not all organizations provided us documents to be analyzed. Practical implications The findings guide managers in balancing the use of contracts and trust in inter-firm collaborations and fostering the learning of customers. Also, insights to protect knowledge based on the paradox of openness in value co-creation. Originality/value This study’s findings address the gap in value co-creation literature concerning the lack of empirical studies.
